No piece of furniture in the modern nursery demands the kind of selective care as a crib. Babies spend most of their young lives sleeping, and this justifies buying modern cribs with great care and consideration, ultimately choosing the safest and most comfortable designs affordable.

Our wide selection of contemporary cribs have been chosen for their adherence to both safety and esthetic standards. Featuring elegant designs, eco-friendly choices, and easy-to-assemble options, our modern cribs are thoughtfully designed to seamlessly grow along with your baby. When outfitting your modern nursery, ask yourself some fundamental questions about the essential features you’re looking for in a crib:

Are modern cribs just as safe as traditionally styled cribs?

This is an important question because the design of some cribs—the lack of visible bells and whistles, for example—may lead parents to believe that a baby’s safety may somehow be compromised. This is not true of course, because the best modern cribs adhere to the the most stringent safety standards, and the exceeding simplicity of a design, in an of itself, shouldn’t be any cause to worry. The more salient point is to carefully research and examine whichever crib design you select for your modern nursery, and ensure that the strictest safety guidelines have been followed.

Should I look for an adjustable and convertible modern crib?

Absolutely. Well-made, good-looking cribs are no small expense, so there’s no doubt that you’ll want to get as much for your modern nursery budget as possible. Today’s contemporary cribs include immensely adjustable and convertible designs—mattresses with varying heights for easy access as your baby grows, designs that convert from crib to toddler bed—are smart choices that a maximize your budget, but are also wise from a practical standpoint, and for the environment. After all, why throw away a perfectly good modern crib when, with a few adjustments, it turns into a modern toddler bed?

How essential are eco-friendly modern cribs?

The term eco-friendly means many things to many people, but when it comes to cribs, its meaning should relate primarily to the safety of your child. In an ideal situation, sustainably sourced or recycled wood, for instance, would be an optimal eco-friendly choice of materials from which to construct a modern crib, but more important for the wellbeing of your baby would be the quality of the paint or finish used to finalize the look of your crib. A crib that’s been painted with toxin-free paints or finished with PBA-free coatings that pose no danger to your child is an eco-friendly option that, in this case, is worth paying more for. Obviously sustainability should always be a consideration when shopping for baby furniture, or any furniture, but when it comes to your modern nursery, focus first on those eco-friendly features that ensure your baby’s immediate safety.
